Beamclamp - An Engineered Steel Clamping System.

An Engineered I-Beam and Steelwork Clamping System

NO Drilling, NO Welding, Fully Adjustable Connection

BeamClamp products offer an alternative method of securing secondary steelwork and building services equipment to primary steelwork. The BeamClamp product range, as the name suggests, clamps new steel in position eliminating the need for drilling and welding while providing a high degree of adjustability. The BeamClamp range features technical innovations that provide a steelwork connection that is stronger, quicker and easier to install than traditional or competitive methods.

Typical Beam Clamp Configuration

This is an example of a typical BeamClamp assembly used to connect two steel sections together. The assembly consists of a pre-drilled location plate [4] inserted between the two steel sections. An upper set of BeamClamp components [2] clamp down on the lower flange of the upper beam while a lower set of components [5] work in the opposite direction, clamping the underside of the upper flange of the lower member. Additional packing shims [3] may be used to adjust the clamp to the thickness of the flange being connected. The connection is secured by inserting a bolt [1] through each of the lower clamps, the location plate, the upper clamps and then tightening a nut to the recommended torque. BeamClamp is pleased to offer a free design service to advise on the appropriate components for your particular assembly. In addition we are pleased to include a quotation for your supply of bolts, nuts, washers and pre-drilled location plates.

1 = SAE Grade 5 bolt, nut and flat washer
2 = BA, BB, BT, or BW; BE1 or BE2 or BK1
3 = BH1, BF1, BG1, BF2 or BG2
4 = Location plate
5 = BA, BB, BT, or BW; BE1 or BE2 or BK1
